The Wicker Tree is a 2011 British horror film written and directed by Robin Hardy. It contains many direct parallels and allusions to Hardy's 1973 film The Wicker Man,[1] and is intended as a companion piece which explores the same themes.

The film premiered at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal, Canada, July 2011 and was released on Blu-ray in the UK on 30 April 2012.[2] It received generally negative reviews.
